Rajveer came into his room, to see Naina standing near the window.

"Hey " he said holding her shoulders from behind." Bohot dard kar raha hai kamar ? Ma keh rahi thi, ki Naveen aaj pura din utra hi nahi tumhari godh se. Mein massage kar du ?"

"Koi zarurat nahi.." said Naina. She quickly went and lay down on the bed.

Rajveer looked at her and sighed. He knew exactly what was bothering her.

 He went and closed the room door and sat on the bed and dimmed the lights. He went over to her side. While in a semi sitting position, he hugged her waist, looking into her face. Naina had buried her head into the pillow sideways, shielding her face with her hand. Rajveer gently removed her hand and while setting her hair behind her ear asked her..

"Kya hua Jaan...mere dusre bache ne mere iss bache ko pareshaan kiya kya ?" 

"Nahi, bache ke baap ne pareshaan kiya" snapped Naina.

"Meine ?" asked Rajveer.." Meine kya kiya ? Meine toh saare sahi kaam kiye..pehele mein woh Bengali sweethouse gaya..aur tumhare favourite rasmalai pack karke le aaya...phir woh market jaake, tumhare liye fresh chicken laake fridge mein rakha taaki kal mein tumhare liye bana saku...aur phir..."

"Phir hospital chale gaye.." Naina completed for him.

"Arre..woh bhi toh tumhare liye...Minister saab ka order tha...ki tum jaake Ananya ko inform kardo.ki agar media ne pucha toh kya bolna chahiye...lekin mein tumhari..aur tumhare laadle bete ki neen nahi kharab karna chahta tha..isiliye khud gaya inform karne..ismein kya galat ?"

"Jhoot mat booliye, Rajveer...dekhiya..mujhe sach sach bata dijiye...mein mature hoon...samajh sakti hu...as time flows..feeling can change...toh agar...aap Ananya ke saath rehna chahte hai toh.."

"Toh ?" asked Rajveer sternly, with amusement on his face.

"Toh..toh..aap reh sakte hai" she said, her face showing pain in uttering every word. "Mein..mein chali jaungi".

"Hmm.." said Rajveer. " Aisa hi karna..jao."

Naina turned to look at Rajveer, her eyes filled with tears and angst.

"Kya ? Aisa kya dekh rahe ho...jao na...waise mein kab se aise mauke ke talash mein tha...tum jao....phir mein peeche peeche aunga...humari shaadi toh itni jaldi mein hogaya academy ke baad...ki mujhe mauka hi nahi mila...tumhare saath flirt karne ka...tumhe charm karne ka...nok-zhok ka....toh...hum ab aisa karte hai..tum chale jao...mein tumhare khidki ke neeche gulab leke khade hojata hu...tum pehele bilkul bhaav mat dena...phir na dheere dheere mein tumhe jeetunga...tumhe woo karunga...aur phir..Oww" screamed Rajveer, as Naina smacked him on his arm.

Rubbing his arm and laughing, he hugged her again, kissing her cheek. "Arre...pura toh karne do...abhi main proposal baaki hai."

"Rajveer..mein kitni serious baatein kar raha hu..aur aap.."

"Kya....itni mazak ki baat kar rahe ho..aur isse serious keh rahe ho....Naina..mein jo tumhare liye mehsoos karta hu..woh mein kisi shabdon mein nahi keh sakta...Mein jitna tumse pyaar karta hu..utna hi tumhe chahta hu...chahta tha, chahta hu...aur marne ke baad bhi chahta rahunga...You are my choice Naina...I will choose you again and again..over anything and anyone.

Naina, you are my happiness...tum saath hote ho..toh sab kuch acha lagta hai...zindagai behtar lagne lagti hai... Tumhara saath mujhe pure duniya se ladne ki takad deti hai...aur tumhara pyaar, mujhe poora karti hai...Jab se tum mere zindagi mein aye ho...mujhe meri zindagi jeene layak lagti hai...I love you Naina...only you....meri zindagi mein tumhari jagah koi nahi le sakta..koi nahi."

Naina closed her eyes, listening to him. She involuntarily turned to return his hug. After hugging her tightly for a few minutes, Rajveer lifter his head and wiped her tears. Naina opened her eyes to look into his. 

Rajveer reacher her lips with his and was about to kiss her when...

"There weren't any more right ? kisses ...with her."

Rajveer sighed funnily .."Nahi meri maa...bilkul nahi...tumhari kasam."

"Then ok.." said Naina, pouting.

Shaking his head, he came down again to kiss her.

*****

She was resting in his arms. 

"Rajveer...ek doubt hai..." said Naina.

My cadet is back with her doubts, thought Rajveer.

"Pucho."

"Aapko pata kaise chala ki hum saturday ko attack kar rahe the." asked Naina.

"Meine Yudi se uss building ka survailance system hack karvaya tha...so that even if someone disabled it, we can use a backdoor command something ..ask Yudi wht tht is...to go back online...so we got an alert as soon as they disabled it. We were in a van outside the building." said Rajveer.

"Ohh...mujhe laga meri takleef aapko subconsciously bula rahi thi." said Naina dramatically.

"Shitt..that would have been a better and more romantic reply...Naina..I want to change my answer."

Naina smacked him on his chest playfully, laughing.

"Wohi toh mein sochu...ki yeh Yudi suddenly kaha se tapak pada." said Naina.

"Naina..mujhe pata hai ki meine iss baat ka ehsaas nahi dilaya tumhe ..but I am incredibly proud of you...tumne jo kiya....it's so brave..."

"Aap naraz nahi hai....ki meine.." she couldn't complete

"Nahi...mein samajh gaya ki tumne kis halat mein ye faisla liya....uske jaane ka gham toh bohot hai...par mein jaanta hu ki , kabhi kabhi humare halaat , haath  mein  nahi hote." He dropped his hand to her stomach, caressing it, trying to feel the essence of his baby.

Naina held his hand..."Aapka yeh sapna zaroor pura hoga jaan..I promise."

Rajveer kissed her forehead as he drifted off to sleep. He finally had his love back in his arms. He could now sleep peacefully.
